Just found the answer to my own question. NO he was released early this morning. I suppose he would not take a paycut or settle for being a backup. More money to sign Plaxico maybe?

I say contact cb Nate Clements just to talk. You never know?

Ed.B. of the P-G posts this morning he has his doubts the Tomlin-Burress dinner date is going to occur, which if true supports my theory that story was issued by Burress and his agent

Bouchette also speculates the money Adams turned down might be offered to Starks

As for Clemsnts, quality CBs are out of the Steelers price range - they are very fortunate Ike reupped or the steelers would be screwed at CB

Clements is more of a safety than a corner at this time in his career. He was toast in SF

I hope they have a better plan than the one I'm seeing for an O-Line this year. I'm worried to say the least. Flozell was probably our 2nd best lineman last year and our most reliable as he played all 16 games.

Flozell turned down an offer to reup? Does anyone know how much was it for??

Don't see why. He's played behind a crap offensive line for years.

Not that much different than last year when they had linemen dropping like flies left and right. At least now they have a competent line coach for a change and that makes quite a difference. I shudder to think what would've happened last year if that idiot Zierlein was still there. We'd probably be in the market for a new franchise QB as well right now.

The OL departures are like a bad college team graduating its senior starters - is that necessarily a bad thing?

Colon for Adams may be a wash - LT is a problem but it has been a problem for years
